"GROWTH MINDSET"
STUDENTS DISCUSS SITUATIONS THAT ARE DIFFICULT AT FIRST BUT IF THEY USE A GROWTH MINDSET THEY WILL OFTEN EARN SUCCESS BY NEVER GIVING UP AND WORKING HARD ON A SKILL UNTIL THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL. USING GOOGLE DOCS, STUDENTS BRAINSTORMED WHAT A GROWTH MINDSET MEANS TO THEM, AN ACADEMIC GOAL FOR THE YEAR, AND THEIR PLAN TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL USING A GROWTH MINDSET. STUDENTS USED WIXIE (AN ONLINE VERSION OF PIXIE) TO CREATE AN ILLUSTRATION OF THEIR GROWTH MINDSET EXAMPLE. THE GREEN SCREEN VIDEO WAS THEN COMBINED WITH THE STUDENT ILLUSTRATION AND TURNED INTO A CLASS VIDEO.

STATE RESEARCH
Students used Culturegrams.com to research an assigned state. Students found the State Motto, State Capital, and a “Did You Know” fact about the state. They then make a one page powerpoint slide. This slide included the research they found. They also added the state flag, the state image, and a license plate from the state. Students then narrated their powerpoint slides and the student projects were then combined into a class movie.

I SPY
Using kerpoof.com, students will create I Spy illustrations with a particular theme. Students will write an I Spy type clue in a text box pointing out the different objects that a viewer could look for. Students will then narrate their clues and the student projects are combined into a class movie.

MY TALENT
Students used Word to write out an explanation of their special talent. Students then used a Powerpoint Template to add their name, import their picture, and add a title. Students then recorded themselves reading about their special talent. These recorded explanations were then turned into a class iMovie.
